Disease-free survival

Disease-free survival (DFS) is the amount of time following primary treatment for breast cancer when a patient has no symptoms of the cancer. Disease-free survival is a way to measure a patient’s response to treatment in a clinical trial. It is synonymous with relapse-free survival (RFS).
